Thanks to Warren, AB4GE and Don, W3FPR for suggestions relating to my 
issue with a newly-installed KX3-2M module, coming up with 22.00000 
and 44.00000 MHz (VFOA, B, respectively) after installation.  Should 
you encounter this, just holding the "kHz" button a moment reverted 
VFOB to 144.xxxxxxx MHz, and VFO A remained the wrong frequency. 
Using the B>A switch properly loaded 144 MHz into VFO A, and 
operation was now corrected.

Those of you who have the menu item PA ON for use with the KXPA100 
when testing the new setup without the KXPA100 connected will not 
have use of your KX3AT tuner if installed until you turn it off.

Now to find out why nobody seems to use the repeaters around here any 
more; Cell phones appear to be winning out!

I just completed the straightforward install of my new KX3-2M 2-meter 
module in my KX3 s/n 335 with ATU, encountering no issues. (firmware 
level at 2.12).  The simple configuration setup procedure also went 
smoothly.  After powering off and on as instructed, however, instead 
of a new 144 MHz band, I have now added a band which VFOA says is 
22.0 MHz, and VFOB is showing 44.0 MHz instead of 144.0.  Restored 
the various settings as they were before the install, powered off and 
on again, then redid the 2 meter settings, with the same 
results.  Has anybody else experienced this, or have suggestions?
